Scientific paper

Two simple assumptions regarding the ratios of the strengths of the field contributions of the multipole moments of the terrestrial magnetic field at its effective source depth are used to examine the consistency between the apparent source depths for the magnetic fields of Mercury and Jupiter and the present understanding of their interior structure. Both fields are consistent with the present understanding. However, the comparison would be facilitated by further measurements of the magnetic fields at both planets, especially at Mercury.
